Ayah 153

Surah An-Nisaa

The People of the Scripture ask you to bring down to them a book from the heaven. But they had asked of Moses [even] greater than that and said, "Show us Allah outright," so the thunderbolt struck them for their wrongdoing. Then they took the calf [for worship] after clear evidences had come to them, and We pardoned that. And We gave Moses a clear authority.﴿153

Translation

The People of the Scripture ask you to bring down to them a book from the heaven. But they had asked of Moses [even] greater than that and said, "Show us Allah outright," so the thunderbolt struck them for their wrongdoing. Then they took the calf [for worship] after clear evidences had come to them, and We pardoned that. And We gave Moses a clear authority.

Simplified Tafsir

يسألك اليهود -أيها الرسول- معجزة مثل معجزة موسى تشهد لك بالصدق: بأن تنزل عليهم صُحُفًا من الله مكتوبةً، مثل مجيء موسى بالألواح من عند الله، فلا تعجب -أيها الرسول- فقد سأل أسلافهم موسى -عليه السلام- ما هو أعظم: سألوه أن يريهم الله علانيةً، فَصُعِقوا بسبب ظلمهم أنفسهم حين سألوا أمرًا ليس من حقِّهم. وبعد أن أحياهم الله بعد الصعق، وشاهدوا الآيات البينات على يد موسى القاطعة بنفي الشرك، عبدوا العجل من دون الله، فعَفونا عن عبادتهم العجل بسبب توبتهم، وآتينا موسى حجة عظيمة تؤيِّد صِدق نُبُوَّتِه.
